Yes...Thanks everyone for the comments re my finger. Yes it did bl00dy well hurt but it&#39;s more or less fine now.<br /><br />There are very definite shades of 55 Minutes at Peking of which I have the magazine article and heave ready several times. I&#39;ll be pinching some of the ideas around event cards and resource management I suspect.Michael Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580692168847505881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335839831734070531.post-42177797305075412342017-04-25T05:13:56.452+10:002017-04-25T05:13:56.452+10:00Wow!

I am super-excited to see this and will be paying much closer attention! I&#39;ve wanted to do a Boxer Rebellion game for ages - probably since I saw an article in Wargames Illustrated some 25-odd years ago (I think it was called 55 Minutes at Peking). Such a colourful period - you got all the Chinese (which are colourful enough on their own) but then you have an excuse to do a unit or two of just about every European power - and the Japanese! <br /><br />Ever since Men Who Would Be Kings came out last fall I&#39;ve been thinking about colonial projects (I even ordered a unit of boxers from Irregular when I was picking up some Great War stuff). I doubt I&#39;ll get to doing the Boxer Rebellion for some time as I&#39;ve decided I really should finish up painting all the colonial stuff I CURRENTLY HAVE before embarking on a new colonial project (That&#39;s a LOT of Zulus I have to paint... and... um... Boers... and all the other &quot;Darkest Africa&quot; stuff I have.... and... Do Space:1889 Martians count? they probably should... Perhaps I could do &quot;55 Days at Oenotira&quot;!?)timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335839831734070531.post-75782019833724636472017-04-23T21:35:47.894+10:002017-04-23T21:35:47.894+10:00Ooh shades of 55minutes in Peking, can&#39;t wait ...Ooh shades of 55minutes in Peking, can&#39;t wait ti see how it looksMike Mysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07859759999822565885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335839831734070531.post-6375475949520838812017-04-23T18:59:18.544+10:002017-04-23T18:59:18.544+10:00Ouch!
